You don't actually NEED that many FT with MNE, you only need one to get your first colony across such a nebula, and then you only need enough to keep the dangerous pool full, you don't need to refit the Government pool. I think you underestimate how aggressively I colonize... And how many T and ST ...

WHAT? I'm pretty sure that the conversion from PT to PTU happens when you load the people onto the transports. And one of the options for Forced Resettlement is that they can take their old settlement equipment with them, when you move them.

Why in your highlighted version is the first Q highlighted?

Cralis, I've got a weird one about refits and it's not helped by my memory saying that you don't need to pay for position changes when adding extra Shields, that is if I want to convert the last system on a ship (It's a single HS system for sake of discussion) to S I don't need to refit every interv...

The second part of my question is can a ship advance straight from SG-2 to SG by doing a WP survey, the wording is a bit strange. I could have sworn that we have a rule that says you cannot gain more than a single grade at once, but I'm having trouble finding it. It should be in F4 somewhere... Not...

So Cralis previously confirmed my suspicion that if you're using the Survey Grade rules you're ships start at SG-2 and then work their way up, well now I've got two more questions: 1. What is required to advance to SG? SG-2 advancement sounds like life doing a planetary survey is enough, but SG-1 i...

Hb isn't related to H in any way and any rule that applies to H doesn't necessarily apply to Hb, the b in Hb is Bay, not Beta (Generation). Hb is a "Cargo Bay" and is related to H. It will be much clearer in the next version of the rules. It does NOT require life support. The impression I...

That wasn't worth very much to me due to the way pulsed movement works, it's rarely going to save you much, if any time.

So I've just come from running the numbers on the cost of Forced Resettlement of your own population Vs. using normal colonization and it isn't in the favor of colonization all the time. So my results: For in-system colonization Forced Resettlement always works out cheaper then real colonization, as...
